Development Spotlights
Greenford Quay Park View Place KEY DATE: SPRING 2020 DEVELOPER: GREYSTAR Greenford Quay is a new waterfront community and rental development overlooking the Grand Union Canal in Ealing. It is the UK’s first complete neighbourhood designed from scratch for rental living. A phased build programme is on track to deliver 2,118 high-quality homes over eight hectares and the neighbourhood will grow quickly over the next few years to include shops, a supermarket, restaurants, cafés, offices, a two-form entry primary school and accommodation for an NHS-operated health centre. The completion of the initial launch phase in spring 2020 will see the delivery of 379 studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments built around a beautifully landscaped public square. A Co-op food store and Little Einstein’s nursery are going to be among the first businesses to occupy the ground floor commercial and retail space to serve the neighbourhood. With a new canal footbridge now open, renovated waterfront and public spaces, Greenford Quay forms a new heart for the area that reconnects with water and woodland for everyone to enjoy. The development is surrounded by nature and only a short walk from the open space and ancient woodland at Horsenden Hill and Paradise Fields – a rich natural habitat. Greenford Quay is easily commutable from central London and Zone 1 can be reached in under 20 minutes on the Central line. Alternatively, cycling along the Grand Union Canal Walk will take 45 minutes to Paddington. Greenford Quay is being developed by Greystar, the global leaders in rental housing, who will retain direct management of the site and its residents through a dedicated on-site team.

There will also be new community space, along with pedestrian and cycling routes to Sudbury Hill tube station. This environmentally conscious development will offer solar PV panels, electric charging points and air-sourced heat pump technology, in line with London’s plan for carbon reductions and energy efficiency.
